Pro Day Ponderings

  • The Dolphins attended the University of Florida pro day and are reported to be interested in Percy Harvin, Louis Murphy and tight end Cornelius Ingram. This is the second or third time a TE has been reported under watch by the Dolphins. This is not an indication that they're targeting a TE, but since they only have 3 on the roster they will likely bring in one or maybe two more for the offseason competition. All reports said that all three receivers were very impressive and didn't drop a single pass all day. All 3 also have scheduled work-outs with the Dolphins.
  • Percy Harvin warmed up, lined up at the cones, then stood up and announced he was going to stick with his 40 yard dash time from the combine, 4.41. In my opinion this was a truly bad idea unless he knew he wasn't faster than that. The decision could have cost him a lot of money.
  • At the Penn State pro day, Aaron Maybin ran a 4.59 40 to boost his standings probably to where they were before the combine. Scouts were worried that the added weight (he gained 25 lbs since the season) had slowed him down as he ran in the 4.77 range at the combine. He also met with Miami representatives.
  • Derrick Williams ran a 4.37, which is in the top 5 receiver times in the draft pool.
  • I forgot to mention this the other day when Michigan had their pro day, but Wolverines defensive tackle, Will Johnson, put up 47 reps in the bench press. To put that into perspective, that's TEN more than Jake Long's best which was 37 at the combine last yea and 4 more than the combine record.
  • Dolphins' linebacker coach, Jim Reid, attended the Florida State pro-day personally to see the likes of Everette Brown.
